摘要

A conjugated polymer was synthesized through oxidative polymerization, and nanocomposite thin-film sensors were developed for hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas detection. The nanocomposite sensors demonstrated remarkable sensitivity, with rapid response times consistently ≤ 1 s and faster recovery compared to pure polymer sensors. Nanocomposites of poly(PPD-co-PY) with α-Fe2O3 (PF) and Co-Fe2O3 (PCF) were prepared ex situ using 3% polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) as a binder. The nanomaterials were incorporated at weight percentages of 5, 10, and 15%. Among these, the 15% conjugated polymer nanocomposite (PCF) exhibited the highest sensitivity of 1.22, along with excellent response-recovery characteristics. The detection limits were determined to be 9.8 ppm for the pure polymer and 5.1 ppm for the PCF nanocomposites. The sensors-maintained repeatability over 5 cycles at 2.5 ppm H2S under ambient conditions, attributed to an increased number of active sites on the sensor surface, enabling efficient gas adsorption and desorption.
